Earlier I wrote about the new rising of a traditional shoe brand Wildsmith (you can see the post here) and when Chay asked me if was interested to give some of their pair a try, I of course was more than glad to take that chance. As one can see from the pics below the weather in Finland at the moment is not the most optimal for loafers. However I luckily got the chance to wear these already in Florence during Pitti Uomo and now I’m waiting for the summer to come. Trinity - Brogue punched saddle loafer When making the choice, I basically had two options - the “George” chukka boot in oxblood pebble grain leather and the Trinity. As...
"Classic, yet playful". That's how Jort Kelder, "the face and frontman" of Suitsupply's new "Jort"-line describes the collection that was released in November 2013. Suitsupply Jort - new player on the game The Jort collection itself consists mainly of suits and jackets that feature full canvas construction, hand-sewn pleated shoulders (La Spalla Camicia) and horn buttons.

As usual, Italian Tombolini had came up with one of the most comprehensive collections covering not only business, formal, casual or some "trendy" parts of their line-up at the booth but the whole selection in a very compatible way.

Though for the display this time they had dropped a part of the more casual stuff, keeping the coverige of the “Flying” and “Dream” line fairly small and concentrating more to the business side of the collection, which still was implemented by using interesting fabric choices, textures & patterns (as the bold checks seen in the pictures) and lightweight constructions. As a...

Made in Finland - Inspired by the Nordic heritage Few weeks ago I got the a pleasure to take part at the launch of new Finnish brand Noux Clothing, held at My O My. Personally I was really happy to be there as the launch materialized a project of a friend of mine who I know have been working with the idea for quite a while. The idea of making shoes “made in Finland” is more than rare nowadays. However for few years these guys have been pushing forward their dream and finally the shoes (together additional beanies) are on the market. At the moment there’s one model available, “The Nuorgam Boot” which is derived from the traditional Lappish shoe combined...
